Section 216.262 (1) (d), Florida Statutes,
provides that no individual employed by a State agency may receive
compensation simultaneously from more than one State agency unless
approved by the Department of Administration during each fiscal
year. The purpose of this memorandum is to advise agencies that
official circuit court reporters who are compensated pursuant
to Chapter 29, Florida Statutes, are employees of the Judicial
Branch of State Government.

Agencies who utilize official circuit court
reporters will be required to obtain dual compensation approval
from the Department of Administration in accordance with Section
216.262 (1) (d), Florida Statutes. The Department of Administration
has adopted Chapter 22k-8, Florida Administrative Code, which
provides for the form and process to request such approval. A
copy of the Department of Administration's
approval must be attached to the voucher submitted to the Bureau
of Auditing for payment.
